Former captain Vettori hasn&rsquo;t played a Test for nearly a year, mainly because of Achilles trouble, and was selected for the one-day leg of this tour. <img alt="Daniel Vettori" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/may/Daniel-Vettori.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 325px;" /> Daniel Vettori But a calf injury suffered by his fellow left-arm spinner Bruce Martin during New Zealand&rsquo;s thumping 170-run first Test defeat at Lord&rsquo;s saw Vettori make an earlier than expected arrival in England. But the day before the match starts at Headingley today, saw Kiwi captain Brendon McCullum announce Vettori, a veteran of 111 Tests for New Zealand, has been ruled out. &ldquo;Dan&rsquo;s out of tomorrow&rsquo;s game unfortunately. He didn&rsquo;t scrub up that well today and just the confidence to go into a five-day game, with the workload he&rsquo;s had, it was just a bridge too far unfortunately,&rdquo; McCullum said.u00a0

Daniel Vettori's hopes of making a return to Test cricket in New Zealand's series finale with England in Leeds ultimately came to nothing after he was ruled out yesterday.
